We should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive & well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate, bier or wein in hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WHOO-HOO, WHAT A RIDE!!!!!!"

We wanted to pick a song from The Rocky Horror Show in tribute to the wonderful Tim Curry (who sadly died last month) – who, among other stellar credits across his amazing career, played Dr. Frank-N-Furter. So this is our live attempt at parodying “Time Warp” – the hit song from 1975 with lots of spoken word, weird energy, dark intent and suggestion, and loony choreographed dance moves. The glam rock and roll song was written by Richard O’Brien and Richard Hartley, and in the stage show, served as an encore (led by Dr. Frank-N-Furter).
The choreographing of loonies brought us to this week’s headline stories in Europe, where gangs of masked men have appeared (especially in port cities) under a new banner – calling themselves “Patriot Platform” and intimidating the general public with their black costumes and menacing paramilitary vibe and chants. They disrupted the ferry port at Dover, have made life miserable for the Royal National Lifeguard Institution and its incredible volunteers (who put their lives on the line to save those at sea), and in midweek also targeted the offices of journalists (well, the Daily Mail). At the moment it’s a rather pathetic operation, but with millions of dollars of (largely American) funding pouring into all sorts of organisations, there is a sense of a new watershed in how the Far Right are mobilising. In very-much linked news, the German AfD party also just won a notable election – celebrated by their supporters Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
The comparison in the title and chorus links back to the developments in Europe/Britain in the 1920s and 1930s, when in Germany, Italy, and here, roaming paramilitary groups were coordinated to link militarism, nationalism, fascism, masculinity, and intimidate their enemies and those they blamed for decline.

LYRICS:
It’s dumbfounding … it’s repeating
Blackshirts on the roll
The ghosts of Mosley
With American wonga
Gimp masks now on patrol
This September, Europe’s in time warp
Sinking right back to when
The fascists prowled cities
Chanting slogans and brawling
Stormtroops and Freikorps again!
Stormtroops and Freikorps again!
It’s just a jump to the right
And then a step further right
Threaten citizenship
Deny some legal rights
Make up a dipstick test
A silly costume and name
Stormtroops and Freikorps again!
Stormtroops and Freikorps again!
Mussolini … had fancy squadristi
They challenged the police see, to flout the law
They exploited dissension
With nationalistic pretension
Well it grew to all-out war
We’re not yet in the vice grip
But there’s a sinister kinship
They’re coming – and they’re repeating claims
Are they saving your nation?
Bringing Christian salvation?
Stormtroops and Freikorps again!
Stormtroops and Freikorps again!
Well I was driving down the street, to a ferry port when
I met a bunch of balaclava-wearing black-clad men
They blocked it all up, it took me by surprise
They had some dickhead slagging off the RNLI
Looked out to sea, across to Germany
There’s been a seismic victory for the AfD …
Stormtroops and Freikorps again!
Stormtroops and Freikorps again!
It’s just a jump to the right
And then a step further right
Want a dictatorship?
There might be one in sight!
We gotta ban the masks
We gotta try to disclaim
Stormtroops and Freikorps again!
Stormtroops and Freikorps again!
Women built the Make America Healthy Again movement on concerns about pesticides, processed food, and a healthcare system that often seemed like it just couldn't help their families.
These days, though, the coalition is being overtaken by men—whose concerns are less likely to center on making our food system less toxic, and more likely to involve proteinmaxxing and increasing the testosterone levels of the median American male.
“Women have powered the movement, evangelizing for whole foods and raw milk on Instagram, urging President Donald Trump to appoint Kennedy to lead HHS, and protesting against food additives and agricultural chemicals, in particular glyphosate, found in the weed killer Roundup,” author Jill Filipovic wrote for our upcoming issue.
“The administration’s MAHA-adjacent decisions have prioritized the interests of men,” Filipovic wrote. “Take protein. Like anxieties about testosterone and “soy boys”—weak men supposedly feminized by eating too much tofu instead of red meat—the protein craze is as much about a robust male identity as it is nutrition.”
So, will you be joining the war on protein? And will the MAHA moms ever revolt against their own movement? Read on.

A man who had been sitting in the front row rushed at the Democratic representative and sprayed her with a strong-smelling liquid. He was removed by security and later booked into jail.
Reis Thebault and Lauren McCarthy reported from Minneapolis.
During a town hall with Representative Ilhan Omar in Minneapolis on Tuesday evening, a man rushed the lectern and appeared to spray her with a strong-smelling liquid before he was tackled by security.
The man, who had been seated directly in front of the lectern in the front row, suddenly jumped up as Ms. Omar was speaking and ran toward the podium. He used a syringe to spray her shirt with a substance that smelled strongly of vinegar. As he stumbled backward and pointed at her, a security officer tackled him to the ground, handcuffed him and removed him from the room.
Gasps were audible through the crowd, as well as cries of “Oh my God, oh my God.” Some attendees yelled out, “He sprayed something!” A woman in the crowd appeared near tears.
The Minneapolis Police said the man, whom they later identified as Anthony J. Kazmierczak, 55, was arrested and booked into jail on suspicion of assault. A forensics squad was called to analyze the scene, he added.
Ms. Omar, a Democrat who represents part of Minneapolis and has been a frequent target of President Trump, held the town hall in her district of Minneapolis to address the ongoing ICE operations in the city. Hours before, Mr. Trump criticized Ms. Omar at a rally in Iowa and repeated inflammatory remarks about her birth country, Somalia. He said immigrants “have to show that they can love our country. They have to be proud, not like Ilhan Omar.”
The assault occurred just after she said: “We must abolish ICE for good. And D.H.S. Secretary Kristi Noem must resign or face impeachment.”
Her comment mirrored calls by Democratic lawmakers for Ms. Noem, the homeland security secretary, to step down or face impeachment after federal immigration agents shot and killed two people in Minneapolis this month.
Ms. Omar, visibly shaken after the assault, insisted to her staff and security that she would continue. She asked for a napkin and told them: “Just give me 10 minutes. I beg you. Please don’t let them have the show.”
Ms. Omar then turned the crowd. “Here’s the reality that people like this ugly man don’t understand,” she said. “We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”
Someone in the crowd later thanked Ms. Omar for staying and continuing after the assault, which had shaken not only her but the entire room.
“I learned at a young age you don’t give in to threats,” Ms. Omar said.
About an hour after the town hall, Ms. Omar posted on social media that she was OK and grateful to her constituents for rallying behind her after the assault. “I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work,” she said. “I don’t let bullies win.”
The U.S. Capitol Police, which investigates threats against lawmakers, said in a statement that the attack on Ms. Omar was “unacceptable” and would be met with “swift justice.”
“We are now working with our federal partners to see this man faces the most serious charges possible to deter this kind of violence in our society,” the agency said.
As video of the encounter quickly circulated on social media, some officials condemned the assault. Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis denounced the attack, saying on X that “this kind of behavior will not be tolerated in our city,” and that “violence and intimidation have no place in Minneapolis,”
Representative Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican who has often been at odds with Ms. Omar, said she was “deeply disturbed” by the attack.
“Regardless of how vehemently I disagree with her rhetoric — and I do — no elected official should face physical attacks,” she said in a social media post. “This is not who we are.”

Diverting from ‘Protocol’: Stephen Miller, a top aide to President Trump, has suggested that federal agents “may not have been following” protocol before the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, after days in which he and other Trump administration officials portrayed the shooting as justified.The federal agents who fired on Pretti have been placed on leave.
Audience members cheered as the man was restrained and his arms were secured behind his back. In video footage from the event, someone in the crowd can be heard saying, “Oh my God, he sprayed something on her.” Omar was not visibly injured and continued the town hall in northern Minneapolis after the assailant was removed.
NEW -- Rep. Ilhan Omar was just charged by a man at a town hall event in Minneapolis. Crowd says he "sprayed her" with something.
You can hear Omar demand to continue the town hall -- and she's back to speaking now from the podium.
Moments before the disruption, Omar had called for the abolition of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and urged Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign, saying, “ICE cannot be reformed.”
Omar continued after the attack, "Here's the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand; we are Minnesota strong and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us."
Minneapolis police told Newsweek that officers working at the town hall observed the man "use a syringe to spray an unknown liquid onto US Representative Ilhan Omar."
The man was then arrested and booked on a third-degree assault charge, police say, adding that Omar was "uninjured" and that she resumed speaking at the event.
Minneapolis forensic scientists also responded to the scene. It is immediately unclear what substance was sprayed on the congresswoman.

Representative Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina, denounced the assault on Omar.
“I am deeply disturbed to learn that Rep. Ilhan Omar was attacked at a town hall today” Mace said on X. “Regardless of how vehemently I disagree with her rhetoric — and I do — no elected official should face physical attacks. This is not who we are.”
Omar took to X later Tuesday night to say she is "ok."
"I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work," she added. "I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong."
In a statement sent to Newsweek via email on Tuesday night, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said, "We strongly condemn the attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar at her community town hall, which comes after years of racist and Islamophobic incitement against her.
"We call on all members of Congress to condemn this assault, which was entirely predictable. The dangerous incitement that politicians like President Trump, pro-Israel lobby groups like AIPAC, and anti-Muslim hate groups have spent years spewing against Rep. Omar must end immediately.
"We commend Rep. Omar for her courage in continuing to speak out for justice here and abroad, despite the hate and threats she has faced for doing so. The American Muslim community stands in solidarity with her. An attack on Rep. Omar is an attack on all of us and on the rule of law."
Staunch Trump supporter and MAGA influencer Laura Loomer also took to X: "This is the most staged thing I have ever seen in my life. I’m calling for an immediate investigation into whether @IlhanMN Ilhan Omar staged the spraying of her body at her Townhall tonight to distract from new reports over her marriage fraud and accumulation of $30 million worth of wealth on a $180,000 per year salary."
Loomer, a self-described "proud Isamophobe," added, "There must be an investigation into this known fraudster. This looks very staged, and I would not be surprised if Ilhan set this up herself so she could cry victim as President Trump is exposing her and as Congress and the DOJ are investigating her and her husband."
